 More Rangers NewsRangers LinksThe Texas Rangers have jumped in on the Roy Halladay trade derby. Starting pitching appears to be a top priority for general manager Jon Daniels as the Rangers get ready to begin the second half against the Twins on Friday night. "All 30 clubs can say the same thing," Daniels said Thursday afternoon. "It's something we're exploring, but at the same time, we've got to be prepared to go from within. Anything that presents itself externally is a bonus. We've got to be able to count on guys already on the ballclub." The Rangers have asked about Halladay and have had discussions with the Blue Jays. But sources call it a "long-shot." Texas knows the cost is going to be high, in terms of taking on salary and giving up prospects. Toronto is expected to demand first baseman Justin Smoak and at least two good young starting pitchers. |
